tendance than yesterday. In accordance
with Il resolution adopted yesterday,
President Beverly appointed a committee
to confer with the senate in relation to the

reported several res olutions, the most i'm
portant of which is, that the clause in the
charters Of national banks which forbids
their loaning money on real esta teIworks
great injury to the farmers of the United
States by denying them banking privileges
and thus causing them to pay a higher
rate of interest than any other class of
citizens; and that we, the farmers of the
United States in congress assembled, do
most respectfully but urgently ask the
congress of the United States TO repeal
the same.
1t was proposed hat the members call
in a body upon the president of the
United States. A message was sent to
the white house to learn the presidents
convenience. Col. Lamont replied that
the president was engaged to-day, but
would be pleased to receive them to-
morrow. Half past | O'Clock was then
set as the hour for calling. Delegates of
each state and territory were asked to call
upon their representatives in congress
and personally endeavor to hasten legisla-

Fannie BALDWIN Declared Sane.

Chicago, Jan. l3.-Fannie Verona
tice Meech's court last Monday, was
among the first to be introduced for ex-
animation al Justice Prendergast' court
to-day. Miss Baldwin gained notoriety
by an attempt to shoot her second cousin
and alleged b~etrayer, Lucky Baldwin,
the California horseman and bonanza
king. In this city she has supported
herself since spring by work in publishing
houses. When she was called before the
court this morning, an unusual number
of influential ladies presented themselves
in her behalf. The Chicago Womans'
club had taken up her case and engaged
Attorney Joseph Kirkland. The first
witness called was DIR. Joseph Sandsbury,
who testified that the lady was sane. At
this point Mr.. Kirkland demanded that
the parties who secured her arrest should
appear, and the court sustaining this
demand, a call for the informants was
made and no one answered. DR.. Bluthardt
volunteered the testimony that the lady
was insane, though perhaps not danger
Gus. The subject herself, who retains
considerable of her youthful beauty, con-
Quoted herself with ladylike reserve and
composure, which added strength to the
plea of her sanity. As the compliments
did not appear, Judge Prendergast or
dered her temporarily committed to the
home for the ..friendless, from which she
will be taken as soon as a position is Sc
cured for her. The facts of her appre-
hension and submission to inquiry are
that she was arrested by detective Flynn
on complaint of the managing editor OF
a city paper, whom she had threatened
because OF certain publications rejecting
upon her.

A New Compliant Against the Bell
Telephone COMPANY.

BosToN, Jan. l3.-District Attorney
Stearns, on behalf of the government, to-
day filed in the United States court a bill
of complaint Of the United States against
the American Bell Telephone company
and Alexander Graham Bell. The bill
is essentially the same as the one dis
missed from the Ohio Circuit Court of
the United States on the ground of lack
of Jurisdiction. The bill sets forth at great
length the reasons why the government
charges that patents were illegally issued,
the allegations being precisely as were
contained in the Columbus bill, the only
additional allegation of consequence is
that Prof. Bell failed to comply with the
regulation OF the patent Office requiring
the patentee to file a working model of
his invention.

Riots Feared.

NEW YORK. Jan. l3.-Graye fears

Officers of the Delaware T. Hudson Coal

unload coal from its boats at any OF the
docks in New York City. At the COM

gathered with a threatening aspect during

bailifs were called out to guard the men
at work, and Governor Abbott was called
on for aid of the militia. He replied
hat as soon as the sheriff notified him
that a riot was in progress and beyond
his control, he would dispatch troops.
No violence has yet been attempted.

New Uses for the New Light.

a striking instance Of faith in the
wonderful resources Of electricity is
had in the proposition Of soma of the
florists of this vicinity to try the effect
of light from that source in developing
roses. In the greenhouses around here
roses are said to be on the point Of
bursting forth in all their beauty. Con-
tinuous sunshine for a short period
would perfect them. But cloudiness
has prevented that.
This idea is not entirely new. EX-
periments with il have been made with
some degree of success, but the best
evidence of the virtue of the light was
obtained by accident. A gentleman in
whose yard there was an electric light
discovered that the roses which received
its rays developed better than those
which did not. With the sunshine by
day and the electric light by night they
were under what seems to have been
such conditions as vegetation is said TO
have been under at the North Pole
when, according to a learned theory,
that region was Eden;s. They had
steady light during the whole period OF
their growth.
II electric light will serve the purpose
contemplated, the value of it can be
easily understood. From a business
point of view it would be of importance
90 a florist to be able to supply the
market with roses days in advance OF
any one else.
But the commercial aspect of the in
stance aside, the idea of substituting
artificial for solar light in the opera
tions of nature is a curious and instruc-
tive illustration Of belief in the almost
limitIess resources of an agency which,
practically, has been made known to
the world within the last few years.
One of the highest authorities on
mining intimates that the electric light
will in due course of time supeTsede the
pit lamp in coal mines. The desiTa-
bility of the change is apparent to the
most casual observer. The chief diff
Guilty. however, lies in the practica-
bility. The electric lamp for mines has
not vet been invented which combines
low cost and convenience of handling.
These difficulties, once overcome, there
is no doubt but that our mines viii be
lighted by electricity.

normal limits; but the average among
men of medium height 25 years old may
be placed at about 14O pounds. The
